Chocolate Fat Bombs

We have been experimenting with the low-carb high-fat lifestyle for just over a month now and the results speak for themselves.

If you’re interested you can look up nutritional ketosis or ketogenic lifestyle for the correct info, but basically by sticking to the keto principles your body will learn to burn fat instead of carbohydrates for energy and eventually you will enter fat adaption.

I’ve lost some weight that I gained post marathon but more importantly I’ve lost 5% body fat over the past 5 weeks.

This is not a diet.

I don’t count calories. I do try and hit my macros.

If you grew up in the 80’s like myself you might remember the advertising ‘take the skin off the chook’, the switch to low-fat, the upsell of margarine, sugar-free and diet products.

Before this, my carbohydrate consumption was excessive, I was the carb queen and I can honestly say I don’t miss flour, rice and grains. My skin glows for the first time ever and I actually feel healthy.

And when your body enters ketosis you will know because it is similar to any happy pill (recent back injury) you have ever taken and you will have boundless energy – hello 5am runs.
